Figurative painting of actress at the theater holding a script

An actress reviews her lines between scenes at the theater. After I roughed in the figure, I added some shapes in the background which came to suggest theater props. So her dress became a costume and a script appeared in her hand.

Painting is my passion. I’m wild about the act of painting and the subject of the female figure.

My path to this perfect artistic place was through folk art born of memories of my New England childhood. This art I sold to the White House, Panasonic, Toyota, Bigelow Tea, the Mayor of Boston and to clients of galleries in New York, Boston, Nantucket, Charleston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. My art was featured twice on the Today Show and in two national magazines.

Now I paint about strong women. In Greek mythology, women were as powerful as men. They were gods. I like to think, and my collectors seem to, that my painted women are their descendants.
